He played well in the playoffs.

I don't understand how people are getting on dude for being hurt. I saw his ankle get mauled in game #1 last year. That isn't a Dan Cody house of glass play, that was a legit injury.

This year he's had his ups and downs with injury , but you guys are crazy to think he is a bust.

Webb played in like 30 games up to this point in his career with playoffs, and has missed most of this year.

Re: Injury News

I think the problem is that when he's bad, he's REALLY bad. I know it was preseason, but when I think "Hey, how does first round pick Jimmy Smith play?" the first thing that comes to mind is Megatron treating him like a middle school kid on the field this year. I hope he makes a complete turnaround next season. Hopefully him and Webb are hanging out a lot and whatever Webb's got that Smith doesn't (ie MOTIVATION) rubs off.

Gotta love baseless accusations of motivation issues when they don't have one bit of evidence to support their claim.

I think you're way too early with this kind of post. The guy is only in his 2nd season, and has shown some signs of promise. A "bust" ? Man, did you tell your children that when they couldn't do math by the age of three? ... Bc

...im completely on your side?

That was my point. Hes had 5 career starts, how he can be considered a bust is beyond me. Especially when he made the play of the playoffs last season.

I know he did not practice but I say he plays, he finished the game last week and is a veteran and plays a position that can allow for missing practice during a week and still playing. Its not like he is a young player most vets can miss a week of practice and still play that sunday. Mason did it all the time so has Ed Reed and I believe Yanda.

I know!

Right guard Marshal Yanda (ankle), linebacker Jameel McClainand safety Bernard Pollard (chest) were not practicing for a third straight day. For the Ravens, players who don't practice all week typically don't play Sunday. McClain has already been ruled out for the game.If Yanda can't play, Bobbie Williams would likely start in his place. If Pollard can't go, James Ihedigbo is his likely replacement.
